  abstract = {{T}he objective of this study was to follow-up on the evolution of the hydro-pluviometric schemes and particular elements of {W}adi {M}ina (6048 km(2)) to the {S}idi {M}'{H}amed {B}en {A}ouda {D}am to evaluate the silting origin and status of this dam situated in the northwest of {A}lgeria. {T}he pluviometric study targeted a series of rains during 77 years (1930-2007), the liquid discharge data cover a period of 41 years (1969-2010) and the solids and suspended sediment concentrations data cover very variable periods, starting from 22 to 40 years for the entire catchment area. {T}he statistical tests for ruptures detection on the chronological series of rains and discharges indicate a net reduction of rains of more than 20% on the entire basin since 1970. {T}he evolution of solids inputs was quantified: the maximum values are registered on autumn start and at the end of spring. {T}he {W}adi {M}ina basin brings annually 38 x 106 m(3) of water with a specific degradation of 860 t.km(-2) year(-1). {B}y comparing the results found, we thus observe that the basin upstream of {SMBA} (1{B}) {D}am is the greatest sediment producer towards the dam because it shows a specific degradation equal to 13.36 t.ha(-1) year(-1).},
